Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra REACTION (First Time Hearing)

[@adrianl9519]

Strawberry Swing is actually a Coldplay cover. And unlike The Eagles, they didn’t sue him they actually invited him on tour.

the duality of pure happiness and sadness that frank ocean conveys in his music is like no other... the look on your face listening to strawberry swing was priceless - such a pure moment. loved this video

[@ratanangmafatshe5629]

Swim Good is what made me a Frank Ocean Addict... His music is absolutely special.

[@JM-ex2lj]

The Weeknd- Trilogy álbum or His first 3 mixtapes House of balloons Thursday Echoes of silence ALSO this was Franks first mixtape not an album that’s why it had so many samples

[@champagebabyg]

I agree with this wholeheartedly

[@ryankelly8818]

the trilogy album is just the three mixtapes in one

[@vrj607]

Josue Mejia sorry bro we need a whole Weeknd season

[@trizz7150]

respectfully, Lonny Breux was frank’s first mixtape

[@hallief9082]

Strawberry Swing struck something deep within me in high school and it has stayed with me for many years. Even got a tattoo inspired by it, there is something so incredibly nostalgic and heart wrenching about it. One of my favorite songs of all time, nothing will ever be as bittersweet to me

[@MatheusOnuki]

Yes, i love this song too

You have a beautiful soul Jon. Love your reactions to Frank! I cried with you, this mixtape makes me so emotional

[@graphicbars6553]

Bruna Vasques Yeah, Jon’s a real one

[@jasonsmith189]

appreciate the effort you put in to getting this to us lol. I know it was a struggle

[@99jay]

Frank used to be a ghost writer so he’s really good at rewriting songs

[@shayd4107]

Strawberry Swing has always stuck with me. There’s a story that floated around for a while about a guy who was listening to it and that alarm at the end snapped him back into reality and saved his life. He was having a heart attack. Really cool story. Think it’s still on Reddit.

[@NotTrollinz]

The reaction to American Wedding is probably the most historically accurate to my self personally. What a beautiful master piece shadowed by, another beautiful master piece.

[@mrdavman13]

That song and strawberry sing hit me so damn hard because of the lyrics and subject matter and then the music is just so beautiful with that voice complimenting it perfectly it always brings tears tbh

[@xbmg3]

One of my favourite bodies of work of all time, and probably my favourite reaction to it of all time. Music moves us all and resonates with us all in different ways, Jon, especially when it’s as powerful as this! Huge respect for you for uploading this and thank you for always being such a genuine, open book to your audience!

[@Pro0wnz]

Bit controversial but I am actually really enjoying the direction you took with this channel venturing from Rock Reacts. Wasn't expecting to enjoy solo content but it's been really great so far.

[@pvnchos1478]

Well worth it. Bro what u think about the latest Beserk chapter?

yo seeing this comment in hindsight is wild haha

[@gameflymc3374]

@@phuncc yeah fax lmao Jon now is one of the best react channels out there that is miles better than Rock Reacts (i still liked that channel tho but Jon was just so much more into new music than Simon)

[@vincentdumashie9515]

I'm happy you are doing these Frank Ocean reactions. A friend put me on Blond as a way to cope with a devastating heartbreak I had been going through, spiraling into depression. I cried during my first listen, and have been listening to both Nostalgia Ultra and Blond every other day. I owe Frank Ocean my life and I'm happy to experience your reactions with you. Thank you

[@vincentdumashie9515]

@Bobby Jo I do not enjoy it as much as I do the other two..... There are a couple songs I listen on repeat off that album though..... Pyramid for example, pilot Jones, pink matter, lost, bad religion

[@vincentdumashie9515]

@Bobby Jo you ever get that feeling where you eagerly look for something and it's difficult to get but you eventually do get it but then you don't have that hunger for it anymore? That's how it was for me and Endless

[@hwren9845]

I hope you're doing better now, man. Frank's music has got me through some really tough times to.

[@wisp.]

damnnit Jon, you crying was almost making me cry. Great video, thanks for getting it up. Reminded me to listen to this album more because it's been a few years since i last listened to it probably. Swim Good is such a strong track for Frank to pull out back in 2011, when he was 24.

[@sabalimafatshe5912]

It's been such a tough time on my side of the world and I decided to re-watch my favorite reactions from you and I feel so much better now. More hopeful. My heart isn't so heavy anymore. I love watching people genuinely experience something beautiful it makes me happy

I remember listening to this mixtape nonstop when I had to take 3 buses to get to school. It’s like it took the stress away from my morning everyday for months.

Amazing review my guy!!!! American wedding and strawberry swing had me too! Lol

[@MrBreadisawesome]

Thanks for working so hard to get this to us! Nothing but respect for you and the work you do

[@KristenPikhaar]

Since you're discovering all Frank's discography, and clearly love his music as much as I do, I wanted to present some of his "hidden gems". I really recommend you listening to "Wiseman" by Frank. I believe he wrote it as a soundtrack for the Tarantino movie "Django", but it wasn't used. I'd also recommend two tracks from some of his mixtapes from before Nostalgia, Ultra. "Acura Integurl" and "Pyrite". Then some of his features are also mentionable, "White" from Odd future's "The OF tape vol. 2", "She" by Tyler, the Creator, "Wildfire" by John Mayer and "Sunday" by Earl Sweatshirt. Hope you have time to check them out.

[@Rose-tl2xc]

omg pyrite and wiseman are some of my all time faves and Acura what a throwback lol

{Frank Ocean- Whip Appeal, Wiseman, And Memrise}. (Whip Appeal)-Groovy car steering wheel tapping anthem with new car smell scent hanging from rearview. (Wiseman)- a beautiful emotion filled balled. (Memrise)-an experimental vocal poem.

This came out right before a summer holiday for me. The combination of these tracks and sunrises / sunsets is undeniable. Also, weirdly I’d never really listened to Hotel California before this, so for me this almost seems like the official version. Fantastic reaction as always.

Provider is the other one of the singles he put out that I'd love you to do. That one has a special place in my heart. Then there's the Moon River cover and Lens, which for me are less essential, but if you wanna do them then go ahead.
